Well, he says "needs to be clicked at" which makes me think he is
talking about a dialog box. Possibly a component of his application
reports errors via DIALOG_MESSAGE and in this case the application is
probably already CATCHing errors so my approach wouldn't work.

If the issue is a dialog box, you will need to modify your code such
that they aren't displayed. Either by commenting the calls or by
replacing them with a non-gui equivalent. You may want to look at David
Fanning's ERROR_MESSAGE function.
